Marrakech by e-scooter: medina and monuments

Medina and monuments · e-scooter · city or off-road · from £20
Price£20

The gentle way to cover the centre: an e-scooter, silent and petrol-free, to link the big monuments without wearing yourself out. On a guided city tour, or in the off-road version to thread through the medina.

Walking the Marrakech medina wears the legs out. Covering it by taxi means missing the point. Between the two, the e-scooter has found its slot: standing on the deck, silent and petrol-free, it links the big monuments without wearing you out or polluting.

Two formats. The guided city tour - EcoScooter type - meets at the Sofitel esplanade and heads for the Koutoubia, Jemaa el-Fna, the souks, Guéliz and the Menara gardens, guide up front. The off-road version rides on fat tyres to thread through the medina: more playful, it goes everywhere.

Either way, you ride in a small, supervised group, helmet on, with photo stops at the viewpoints. This is the gentle way to take the measure of the town in one to two hours - and save the legs for the souks. For adventure on the nature side, the same scooter runs beyond the walls, off-road in the palm grove.

Good to know

What to bringClosed shoes, sun cream, hat and sunglasses. Something to take photos with - the stops come thick and fast.
ConditionsYou must be able to keep your balance (as on a bike). For the city tour, children under 12 are not admitted and minors must be with an adult. For the off-road version, minimum height around 1.20 m. No licence required.
City or off-road?The guided city tour (EcoScooter) strings the big monuments together gently. The off-road version (Palmeride) threads through the medina on fat tyres, more playful. Both on e-scooter, silent and zero-emission.
SeasonNice all year. In summer, aim for morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat.
